Fear of death anxiety


for 19 år siden 0 283 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
hi i esperienced a slight brush with death recently when i woke up just as my car was verring off the road. i knew then that i wanted to live. otherwise i am not afraid of death. it would end all the stress and responsibilities in my life. i have no concept what an after-life might be. My daughter passed away years ago and my wifes says we will see our daughter in heaven. my little mind can't analize those sort of thoughts and i am merely exploring christianity. i hope there is a heaven, but i am not absolutely sure. honestly i don't know. its too strange to really comprehend. we all die. i sort of think of it as another interesting experience. take care

Hi Easyrider777, I know this is a late respons to your post, but I wanted to reply anyway. From the day I was pregnant untill well after the day they were born, I started to experience anxiety about death. Them dying or me dying. I mean, we are all afraid something will happen to our children or ourselves and I think we all have questions and fears regarding dying, but I started to change my way of living. I was preoccupied with death and fear about dying. I even would go as far as contemplating to kill myself just to get it over with, to stop the torture in my head. This is probably not something you are able to figure out yourself. I think the experience you had two years ago is very frightful and even traumatic. Most likely a therapist or counselor can help you work through this. I still have thoughts like that from time to time, especially when I am tired, but I can manage them much better and they do not interfere with functioning anymore.

Street Spirit (Fade Out) Rows of houses all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out This machine will not communicate These thoughts and the strain I am under Be a world child, form a circle Before we all go under And fade out again and fade out again Cracked eggs, dead birds Scream as they fight for life I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out again Immerse your soul in love Immerse your soul in love.

Sometimes the panic-attacks are there even as I'm waking. It's like I'm even thinking about death in deep-sleep. If I tried meditation, all I'd find there is death, staring back at me out of the darkness... I'm sure of it! If I actually [i]had[/i] an ego then maybe I could fight it. I don't understand, how can ego-attachment be the cause of death-panic if I barely have one?

Hi eveyone, Chicago has a good point about meditation and how it is scientifically proven to make us happier and fearless. Death-anxiety is based on our attachment to our ego. In meditation we learn to let the ego go and merge with the light of the all living beings. I know that this might be too abstract for many people but according to Buddhism the mind is indestructible and lives on after death. Karma - the quality of our actions determines the quality of our next life. The more compassionate and giving we are the more joy we will encounter in the future. Depression is helpful in building a loving attitude towards others in the same situation. Suffering is a way to enlightenment because it is through our own suffering that we learn to love others, thus we heal. So looking at illness as a positive, purifying process will enable us to overcome it. Even our fears are gifts. When you face up your phobias without supressing them, you will make them your friends. Death is not the end. It's a beginning. Now concentrate on here and now and think of others as often as possible, reach out to them. We are all buddhas (awakened ones) whether we know it or not. It's up to us what will happen.

I wanted to follow up and say that amazingly, I figured out a way around the scary, pointless breathing problem I was having!!!!! The day after it happened, I kept thinking about how I'd never be able to sleep again if I had that problem. It really scared me. I dreaded sleep! However, somehow I was able to be optimistic enough to fight it. What I did was, within 15 minutes of going to bed, do some jumprope to get my respiration and heart rate up so I would have strong breathing and feel secure that I wouldn't stop. Then I brushed my teeth etc. and got in bed. Instead of lying on my back per usual, I went onto my side, because that seems to lessen the problem. I then forced myself to think about OTHER THINGS besides breathing. I'm a writer, so I thought about a scene in a story I'm going to be writing. I did notice my breathing, but instead of focusing on it or letting it become a problem, I just would make myself breath and concentrate on my thoughts about the story. It must have worked b/c I fell asleep quickly and woke up the next day fine. I did the same thing last night and again, did not have a problem. Hopefully if I do this for a while eventually the problem won't happen and I won't have to "distract" myself out of it :) Wendy

bignjapan; Are you big in Japan? Why is it that you never followed up what you were going to say? Why are you bignjapan? Just curious...because so am I....Are you taking Japanese medications? How are they for you? So far mine work mildly and no bad side effects. But I am also living a kind of a reclusive life here... so my social phobia has a chance to take over and I am not as stressed out...maybe a little under stressed, but I think that is good...I am not afraid of dieing, but I did have the breathing problem in the past, or should I say the stop breathing problem while trying to go to sleep, and jumping up with a start when I stopped breathing. So that is one reason I wrote in before to help someone else who had the same problem, or a similar one. I chalk it up to a worn out nervous system when under stress. As to dieing, the day of one's death is more important than the day of one's being born. Especially if we have a good conscience about the way we lived our lives. If we try to do our best to right the wrongs and do the right things, we should not be afraid of dieing. I mean it is easy to say when one is not threatened with immediate extinction, however, I guess people are becoming more stressed out with the whole world situation and sense something big might be coming up. We watched a movie recently called Flash in the Past, and it was really funny; about a guy who built a fallout shelter during the Cuban missile crisis, and so he runs to his shelter, and when a plane crashes on his house, he believes nuclear war has begun. When they come out 35 years later they see the decay of society since they went into the shelter, and it is really interesting and funny. Well, something may happen to us with all the things that are going on, but I say, and especially when I am depressed, bring it on...let's get it over with. So why spend time fearing death? There really is nothing to fear, unless it is a prolonged painful one. Even then, there are medications for that. It is a door to a better future.

I just realized there was a page 2 to this discussion . I thought how odd that nobody has commented in so long. anyway, a lot of interesting things have been said since when I thought I got in. I look forward to communicating more tomorrow. Be well
